For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them. ~Matt. 18:20

Live for today

Difficult as it might be; living one day at a time is a wholesome
self-control mechanism which teaches us patience and genuine reliance on
our Lord.

Of course, we all like to plan ahead, to be in control
of our future, and to prepare for all eventualities. There’s nothing
wrong in that, and it would be foolhardy to leave all to chance and do
nothing.

Yet, at the same time, we should balance our every plan
with the reality of what is now. We should live each day in gratitude
for what God has given us today, rather than look ahead to what is yet
to come.

They say “You never know what’s round the next corner”.
How true. All it takes is a sudden event, an illness, an accident,
something out of our control, to put all our plans into disarray.
